I hold a Ph.D. in Pharmaceutical Sciences from Kyoto University, where my research focused on lipid nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems. Currently, I am an Associate Professor at Ritsumeikan University, where my work centers on the application of iPS cells, organ-on-a-chip technology, and 3D bioprinting in regenerative medicine and drug development. Before joining Ritsumeikan, I worked as a Research Scientist at Rohto Pharmaceutical and as an Assistant Professor at Kyoto University, where I pioneered the development of a cornea-on-a-chip model for drug testing. 

My academic and industrial collaborations have shaped my approach to biomedical engineering, and I continue to expand my research to address pressing health challenges such as aging diseases and organ regeneration.
